    2.5 out of 5 patient rating

    He only focused on one of my issues and I needed to inform him of other medical issues I have. Exam and questions were not as thorough as i had hoped; perhaps because he was running behind schedule even though I was his last patient of the day. I would have preferred to have been seen and treated by Dr. Michael Garcia or PA Jordan.
